• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M5100 - You have no authorization for the requested key figures. ?

  The SAP error message M5100, which states "You have no authorization for the requested key figures," typically occurs when a user attempts to access certain key figures in a report or transaction but lacks the necessary authorizations to view or manipulate that data. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in reporting and analytics.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile to access specific key figures.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the key figures in question.
  Key Figure Restrictions: Certain key figures may be restricted based on organizational policies or data sensitivity, and the user’s role does not permit access to them.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles in PFCG to include the required authorizations for the key figures.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user roles and authorizations in your organization.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the documentation for the specific report or transaction to understand which key figures are being accessed and what authorizations are required.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the access again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
